You have trouble comprehending tactics don't you.
Broncos are taking away a complete phase of the game. O's can either pass the ball or run the ball, they are not just stopping the run, they are erasing the run. 24 yards net rushing is all they gave up to Oakland.
They gave up ONLY 230 yards passing. It wasn't like Carr and Manual went over 300 yards and had a couple TD's. One busted coverage gave Oakland 64 of those yards in one play. Then in the 4th with the game on the line the Broncos D pressured them into a mistake. It is the same way your DC wants to play games, keep them close enough to get a lead in the 4th then use the D to force the other team into a mistake. We are a lot more alike than you want to think we are, only the Broncos have the better stats vs the Run, maybe that is what you are so upset about. Always playing second fiddle to the Broncos.
Total net yards yesterday 254. I would love to have a D do that every week.
